The Viking DJ's are kinda cooler though. Sorta like UK's almost. I like them better, but the Grant's are the real deal!!!

The Houston Astros cheated Major League Baseball from 2017-18!!!! Is that how we teach our kids to play the game now?????
I agree, the Viking jackets are quite nicely done.
I never got the cover for Viking reprint The Waste Lands. I know there is an evil train back story, but it's certainly doesn't look like the "Choo Choo", nor "Blaine the Mono".
I love the art itself.
Not sure what you mean. I'm confused, The cover is dedicated to "Blaine the Mono" whatever the interpetation may be. Maybe I mis-understood?Originally Posted by Randall Flagg

Blaine the Mono was a future train, running (primarily) on elevated tracks, powered by nuclear engines. Not a locomotive.
I have a thrift store hardcover copy of Pet Sematary, no dust jacket, no print edition listed, no library of congress info....
on the inside cover it's stamped "employee book sale. not to be resold" with an emblem of a capital "D" on top of an anchor ("D"=Doubleday?).
Page 372 has the mark "N47".
Any thoughts?
i have a copy of "Rage' not in great condition though. i got it for my b-day my 16th i think? 1st printing by "Richard Bachman" anyways, one question though i also kept my issue of TV Guide of they did when they mini-series of "The Shining" aired in (1997) it had the original start or whatever it's
called of "The Shining" that "SK" cut in (1977) my question is really simple, is that worth anything? i don't plan on selling it but i'm curious actually.
There are only 2 of the 5 "missing" chapters of The Shining in the TV Guide. The full 5 "missing" chapters, called "Before the Play" were first printed in Whispers magazine in August 1982.
The TV Guide is not worth more than $5.
King wrote Pet Sematary between February 1979 and December 1982. His manuscript was issued as a pre-publication uncorrected galley by Doubleday in 1983.
The gutter code N47 is for the 47th week of 1972. This is long before King signed for Doubleday. There is something wrong with your description.
Would it be possible to post some pictures?

I don't know all the details about the gutter codes, but I found a listing online that shows more than one letter possible for the same year - http://www.isfdb.org/wiki/index.php/Gutter_Codes The examples they list for 1983 have a Y and an N possible.
Y N 1983
Y11 The Third World Way: The Untold Story (Macmillan 1982)
N34 The 1983 Annual World's Best SF (DAW 1983)
So maybe this N also came out in 1983? If I'm not right here, please let me know. I'm always for learning something new.
N could also be 1998.
I don't think it has any value to a collector and does not have much (any) monetary worth, if that is what you are asking. It sounds like a typical, beat-up garage sale book. I've seen the "Doubleday Employee Book Sale" stamps inside some of King's earlier books (like CARRIE and THE SHINING). I think they lessen the value of the book rather than enhance it. Is that what you are asking?
It's definitely nothing like a 'publisher's copy' in the traditional and desirable sense (from a collector's POV). As Jerome says, the N could also represent a later year ('Z' equals 1984 and then the alphabet cycle starts over again) but I vaguely remember (or I'm thinking that I do) that later gutter codes have a double letter.
thanxs for letting me know. i don't have that issue of the full story called "Before The Play" i actually couldn't think of it's title at the time i wrote it. so thanxs for letting me know.
Well played, Greg.Unless of course it looks like this........I doubt that they (the Vikings) will ever increase in value much. I don't know the publication numbers but there are probably just too many of them out there. The thing about the Grant editions, to collectors, is that they are the "true" first editions and will probably always be desirable to collectors because of that and command a decent price.
Here are three posts in the LSOE thread that will bring members up to speed on this subject.
(For a more robust understanding of the conversation, read as much of the linked LSOE thread as you like before and after these posts.)
How many sketchy-doodles and how many "remarques"
Meaningful drawings are in the A/E's not the S/L's
Three LSOE "remarques"
By the way, pinpointing these three posts took way too long.

Anyone else heard of Whelan doing little drawings in the AE of DT7? I don't have one in my copies of LSOE but I did come across this one in DT7.
While browsing through copies of LSOE looking for added drawings I came across this in a "PC" edition of the S/L of LSOE. Instead of signing his real name King signed this one as Roland (of Gilead). Wild, huh?
Bob
two great copies!!
Very cool, Bob!.
I've never seen the King signature like that. I do own one of those sketched AE of DT7.
Those are all very cool!
